Ingredients

  • 1 medium sweet potato baked and peeled
  • 1/2 c white onion chopped
  • 3/4 tsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 16 oz cooked white beans drained and rinsed if canned
  • 2 tbsp tahini
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/3 c flour
  • 1 avocado
  • 1 tbsp oil
  • 1 panko bread crumbs Optional
  • 1 tomato
  • burger buns

Instructions

1

Bake your sweet potato in a 400 degree oven for 40-60 minutes or until tender. Rinse your beans in hot water.

2

Add the potato and beans to a large mixing bowl. Using a large fork, mash well. Fold in the onion and keep mashing. Add all the remaining burger ingredients and mash.

Optional: Before forming into patties, let rest in fridge for 30 minutes.

3

Warm oven to 400 degrees. Warm a skillet over medium-high heat and add the oil.

4

Form the burger mixture into patties and coat with panko.

5

Place patties in hot skillet. Cook 1-3 minutes on each side, until lightly browned. Repeat until all the burger mixture has been used.

6

Place the patties on a baking sheet and bake for 10-15 minutes, until cooked through. Note: If just baking, the baking time will be around 20 minutes, depending on patty size.

7

Slice up all your burger toppings and toast the buns. Serve warm.

8

Store leftover burgers, sealed, in the fridge for up to a day, or freeze and consume within a few weeks for best flavor and texture. To reheat: warm in a 400 degree oven until warmed through, about 12 minutes, depending on burger thickness.
